MODERATE

This bill amends South Dakota laws regarding bond requirements for notaries public and personal representatives. It removes the mandatory bond requirement for notaries public and changes the bond requirement for personal representatives from being mandatory to only required when a court determines it is in the best interests of the estate.

Scope change

The bill reduces regulatory requirements for both notaries public and personal representatives by making bond requirements optional or conditional rather than mandatory.

REQUIREMENT

Removed the mandatory bond requirement for notaries public under § 18-1-2, which previously required them to take an oath before performing duties.

Changed § 29A-3-603 to make bonds for personal representatives optional, now only required if a court concludes it is in the best interests of the estate.

Amended § 29A-3-604 to clarify bond procedures for personal representatives, including how bond amounts are determined and how they may be reduced based on assets deposited with financial institutions.

Repealed § 21-41-24, which appears to have contained additional bond-related provisions that are no longer needed after the other amendments.
